8 point down UPDATED with Pic's & VIDEO & More Pic's
I think I found the buck making all the scrapes and rubs around.
Will post pics and story when he's caped out
this is a mounter for me.
UPDATE
I went to one of the swamp blinds last night and got a shot but had a hang fire.
Don't know what led me to do it but I went to the same blind this morning.
It was moon bright last night and I got in a little later than I should have so I didn't take any of my luxuries out of my pack.I put on a primer,put the barrel in the rest and went into scope world.
My set up is very comfortable so I just look through the scope (on 3x) most of the time.
I never heard this deer come in,I was scanning the cut back and forth real slow getting used to the low light.
I scoped back to where I had just been and caught movement.It was a deer,looked to be a fairly big one for around here as far as body size.I never saw the rack (I have a doe tag),he had his head down quartering to me.
I later ranged it at 52 yards.With his head down I could see where the neck meets the shoulders.I settled the crosshairs on that spot and squeezed the trigger.There was no hangfire this time.
I forced myself to not flinch and remain on target as the smoke cleared.
He dropped right in his tracks,there was no sign of any struggle.
I couldn't figure out the timer on my daughters camera but I did shoot a video with it.I'll post it later.
Here is one picture atleast.
CVA Kodiak Magnum/SS fluted
3x9x50 simmons scope
90 grn BH 209
Precision Rifles 195 grn Dead Center
CCIm 209 primer
52 yars neck shot
Time for the chores to begin.
I have a Jeep Gambrel
I called Boo and he talked me through the caping
Thank's Don
All done.
